Habitaciones espaciosas, acceso gratuito a la piscina y sauna. Excelente desayuno.
Pros:

El desayuno y la piscina, y lo espaciosa de la habitación.

Cons:

No tenían smart TV, y todos los canales eran en alemán. No pudimos disfrutar de la final del mundial en español. Lo dijimos en recepción pero no nos ofrecieron ninguna solución.

Schöne Lage des Hotels, Verbesserungspotential beim Service und in der Küche
Cons:

Das Frühstück in Form eines Büffets hat die üblichen Nachteile eines Büffets: nicht alle Gäste halten sich an die Regeln des Benimms oder des maßvollen Bedienens. Der Raum ist bei vielen Gästen leider recht laut.
Bedauerlicherweise waren alle warmen Speisen (Rühreier, Weißwürstchen, Rostbratwürstchen, Speck (zäh)) lauwarm bis kalt, was weder den Geschmack noch den Genuss gesteigert hat.
Die Kaffeeportionen (Cappucciono) sind klein, vor allem, wenn man für jeden Kaffee wieder durch den gesamten Speiseraum zum Automaten laufen muss.

Wenn das Klosterrestaurant zum Hotel gehört, dann hat sich der negative Eindruck des kulinarischen Angebots noch verstärkt: am Samstagabend waren sämtliche Standardgerichte (Schweinebraten, Schweinehaxe u.ä.) "vergriffen", allerdings wurde uns das erst auf Nachfrage am Tisch mitgeteilt. Zwar war das (Altervativ-)Angebot in Ordnung, aber halt nicht das, was wir gerne aufgrund des Angebots der Speisekarte gegessen hätten. Dass an einem Samstag-Abend diese Standard-Gericht ausgehen, weil zuvor - angeblich - eine große Gruppe von Wanderern alles weggegessen hätten, zeugt zumindest nicht von einer planvollen Bestückung in der Küche (Gruppen melden sich in der Regel an ...).

Das Personal an der Rezeption war zwar nicht unhöflich, aber auch nicht besonders zuvorkommend: dass ein Zimmer in einem 4-Sterne-Hotel erst um 16:00h beziehbar ist, muss man im Kleingedruckten lesen: ein Hinweis im Vorfeld, dass das so ist, wäre hilfreich gewesen, zumal wir die Ankunft für 15:00h avisiert hatten.

Pros:

De mooie zeer ruime kamer met fijne zitstoeltjes. Ook het sanitair was keurig in orde.

Cons:

Het hotel met verschillende ingangen die wisselend wel of niet open waren. Ook het ontbreken van een achteringang vanaf de parkeerplaats viel tegen.
